Establishing Liability in a Child Accident
Establishing liability for your child’s injury depends on the circumstances of the accident, as well as how the person’s negligence or careless action led to your injuries.
Was your child involved in an accident similar to the following:
- Careless or Distracted Driver | A driver hit your car or caused you to run off the road. The driver was looking at their cell phone or was under the influence before getting in the vehicle. The guilty party was driving recklessly or failed to obey a traffic law.
- Premises Liability | A property owner, daycare, or school failed to maintain a safe environment for your child. As a result, he or she sustained an injury while on the property.
If someone injured your child — whether it was accidental or intentional — you have the right to explore your legal options and consult an attorney.
How a JD Haas & Associates, PLLC Attorney May Assist You
If we take on your case, we can utilize a range of legal strategies that may establish liability and case value. Some ways our law firm may be able to help you with your case include:
Provide Legal Representation
Rather than fighting for your child’s legal rights on your own, a JD Haas & Associates, PLLC personal injury attorney can act on your behalf. We can represent you as we engage with the liable party, their attorneys, an insurance company, or all other entities involved in the case.
Manage the Details of Your Case
Filing a claim or suit involves a lot of paperwork, red tape, and constant contact with all relevant parties. An attorney can manage all the details of your case for you. We can gather evidence, organize your paperwork, and submit the necessary documents to the appropriate parties.
Negotiate a Settlement
As your attorney, our role in helping you with your case is to fight for a fair settlement. We may contact the insurance company to help you receive the settlement you deserve for your child’s medical expenses or non-economic damages. If you believe the settlement offer is unjust, we can take the case to trial.
Gather Evidence to Prove Your Case
We will first need to establish who is liable for your injuries, financial losses, or other damages. Our law firm can investigate your case further and obtain the following types of evidence:
- Documents that prove your case
- Witnesses or business partners that can verify your claim
- Photos, videos, or other digital mediums that contain footage or information
- Expert witnesses relevant to your industry or case
Damages You May be Able to Claim
Although it is difficult to put an exact figure on your case value, you may be able to claim specific losses or damages relevant to your case. Some items you may be able to claim include:
Medical Expenses
Keep careful records of all medical-related expenses. You may be able to claim any of your bills or out-of-pocket expenses for your child’s treatment such as:
- Medical procedures and surgeries
- ER visits and hospitalization
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Medical prescriptions
- Routine doctor visits
- Medical devices such as crutches or a wheelchair
